Thinking of you and your family. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Sending love, Alka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Nagpur.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Alka!
Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors is $520 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
